Hospitals all around the world play an essential role in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. During an epidemic event, hospital leaders frequently face new challenges requiring them to perform unaccustomed tasks, which might be well beyond the scope of their previous practice and experience. While no absolute set of characteristics is necessary in all leadership situations, certain traits, skills and competencies tend to be more critical than others in crisis management times. We will discuss some of the most important ones in this manuscript. To strengthen those managerial competencies needed to face outbreaks, healthcare leaders should be better supported by competency-based training courses as it is more and more clear that traditional training courses are not as effective as they were supposed to be. It seems we should look at the COVID-19 pandemic as a learning opportunity to re-frame what we expect from hospital leaders and to re-think the way we train, assess and evaluate them.
世界各地的医院在应对 COVID-19 大流行方面发挥着至关重要的作用。在疫情事件中，医院领导经常面临新的挑战，需要执行他们以前从未做过的任务，这可能远远超出了他们以前的实践和经验范围。虽然在所有领导情况下都没有绝对的一组特征是必要的，但在危机管理时期，某些特质、技能和能力往往比其他特质、技能和能力更为关键。我们将在本文中讨论其中一些最重要的特质、技能和能力。为了加强应对疫情爆发所需的管理能力，医疗保健领导者应该得到基于能力的培训课程的更好支持，因为越来越明显的是，传统的培训课程并不像人们预期的那样有效。我们似乎应该将 COVID-19 大流行视为一个学习机会，重新构建我们对医院领导的期望，并重新思考我们培训、评估和评价他们的方式。
